Podcasts about Cruising

Welcome back to the podcast! Hope you are all staying warm. We are going to take you along with us on this episode to the warm island of the Bahamas as we discuss our recent experience sailing the high seas with mama magic and family.Close your eyes and pretend it's a balmy 80 degrees, light winds and a buffet so long you have to go back for at least seconds and thirds. That's what cruising is like. If you're like me, on the ship its now 10pm you're snuggled up in THE most cozy bedding and cabin, after an amazing spa shower at senses spa,  pirates of the Caribbean the curse of the black pearl is playing on the background and your room service is about to arrive with your late night snack- Mickey bars.

Have you ever looked at the grandeur of creation and marveled at it's Creator? From Alaska's misty fjords to towering wilderness untouched by time, God's handiwork is all around. Join Jim Scudder on InGrace as he and Bruce Malone journey through Alaska and show how creation points unmistakably to the truth of the Gospel.

(Riverton,WY) -In this episode of the County 10 Podcast, we sit down with Megan Mosbrucker, principal of St. Margaret's School, along with Lindsey Anderson, a St. Margaret's parent, to talk about the upcoming “Cruising the Night Away” Dinner Dance happening March 7th, as well as a more in-depth look at the school itself. This themed evening for the dinner dance is more than just a date night… it's a community-powered fundraiser that supports the students and helps keep special programming, experiences, and opportunities strong. Megan and Lindsey share what attendees can expect, including dinner, auctions, games, and a dance, plus the kind of warm, small-town energy that makes these nights so memorable. The conversation also dives into what makes St. Margaret's unique: a small, faith-based environment, a strong focus on leadership and service, and a school culture built on a true partnership with parents. From Catholic Schools Week celebrations to service projects and student involvement, you'll hear how this school keeps kids engaged, supported, and encouraged to grow into the kind of leaders our communities need. You'll also get a peek at other St. Margaret's happenings throughout the year, including community events like bingo nights and paint parties — and why local support matters so much for fundraising efforts that directly benefit students. Whether you have a connection to the school or just love supporting great things happening in our community, this episode is a good reminder of what can happen when a town shows up for its kids.

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Peculiar Satisfaction: Thomas Jefferson and the Mastery of Subjects (Fordham UP, 2025) examines how the ideals and contradictions of the nation's founding live on in libraries, archives, and museums. Thomas Jefferson championed an informed citizenry as essential to democracy, yet the systems he built to organize knowledge reinforced racial and ideological hierarchies that persist today. Melissa Adler explores Jefferson's lasting influence on public institutions, from his personal library, which became the foundation of the Library of Congress, to his archival practices in gov­ernment record-keeping and his museum at Monticello as a site of colonial knowledge production. Through an interdisciplinary lens, she reveals how his methods of classification and preservation shaped national memory and democratic participation. Drawing from archival research and critical theory, Peculiar Satisfaction exposes the paradoxes of access, exclusion, and control embedded in information systems. As censorship and disinformation threaten democracy, Adler argues that understanding these foundational structures is essential to defending the role of knowledge in public life. Melissa Adler is Associate Professor at Western University (London, Ontario) in the Fac­ulty of Information & Media Studies. She is the author of Cruising the Library: Perversities in the Organization of Knowledge (Fordham) Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).  Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on I am delighted to welcome Daniel Edward to The Joy of Cruising Podcast. He shared with me: “I started cruising with Royal Caribbean, where I was Cruise Director's Staff, then promoted to Activities Manager. I was first a Cruise Director over there in 2018. After the pandemic, I returned to cruising with Holland America Line, where I was a Cruise & Travel Director on their Grand Voyages. I circumnavigated Australia and New Zealand twice, South America once, cruised to Antarctica and up the Amazon River, as well as the usual Mediterranean and Northern Europe itineraries. Over the years of cruising, I've always written for newspapers and magazines (my first job was as a finance journalist at the Daily Mail), and I have just been elected to the board of the British Guild of Travel Writers. After leaving the Cruise & Travel Director role at Holland America I decided to launch a travel podcast, called Destination Unlocked, where I'm joined by a local expert in each episode to unlock their part of the world or travel style for my listeners.” Do you have a dream car?

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome back this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Nikki and Tommie Jones. Nikki and Tommie are the owners of Jones Getaways by Dream Vacations. Travel agency. They are instrumental in my travel life in a couple ways. They introduced me to Dream Vacations and as many of you know we are the somewhat new owners of our own travel agency, The Joy of Vacation by Dream Vacations. I have watched them grow and have emulated them and consider them travel agent mentors. The other way they have been influential in our travel life relates to the first time I hosted them on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, August 2024, to talk about Jones Getaways, Soulful Epicurean French River Cruise on AmaKristina, Episode 123. As many of you know we subsequently went on that same cruise, and coupled with our land excursion to Paris, we selected it as our #1 all-time cruise in our recent podcast, Paul & Cheryl's All-Time Top Ten Cruises, Episode 203. In 2025, Nikki and Tommie fulfilled what is #1 on my bucket list—a trip to Africa, specifically Ghana. On their YouTube channel, Jones Getaways, they chronicled the trip, in a 4-part series, Our Ghana Journey—From Accra to Ancestry. If you are a lifelong learner like me, I urge you to check it out. And if Africa is in your future—and I am booked— Our Ghana Journey—From Accra to Ancestry is a must. In the meantime, we want to hear all about the trip.Do you have a dream car?

New Yorker Jill Chalsty tried retiring in both South Carolina and Florida—without success. By the end of 2024, she was still recovering from a battle with cancer and grieving the loss of her husband. Looking for a fresh start, Jill decided to explore potential retirement destinations by embarking on an around-the-world cruise aboard Cunard's Queen Anne. The ship departed from Brooklyn in January 2025, visiting 26 ports across six continents over four months. After a long but rewarding journey, Jill came to an unexpected conclusion: the best place for her to retire was right where she had been all along—Manhattan. Find out more about Jill's search for a new place to call home on Episode 220 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Link in bio. Jill Chalsty's recently published memoir is Packets of Hope: A Journey of Healing and Rediscovery (https://www.amazon.com/Packets-Hope-Journey-Healing-Rediscovery-ebook/dp/B0FSYGTY7V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=38W66TNRV02PP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FE3XnhQzvjFy4HpwgkOGP6dP7LYfPEQMtYjfB4f5oj_q9ZAnnDPywRmU2qvk5c7TQF6wjr5jUj6kwwtk9wVRWaI3-Eow97HvEVYmjZ3WpwX0_8U2V36BHS-MqyITrrO-.fW2WWHrcCJyq60EgRCNAr5p4E_pxGQyxu9Xde97Q7Vs&dib_tag=se&keywords=packets+of+hope&qid=1768186547&s=books&sprefix=packets+of+hope%2Cstripbooks%2C269&sr=1-1).

Welcome to the debut edition of our new Start The Week show - a succinct 15-minute summary of the hottest 5 travel topics in South East Asia and beyond. Our first mini show takes Gary and Hannah from Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to China and Saudi Arabia. En route, we discuss a potential Disney theme park in eastern Thailand, Chinese cruise tourism, e-gate tech challenges between Singapore and Malaysia, cross-border EV charging packages, and the logistics of developing a Hajj village for almost a quarter of a million Indonesian pilgrims. All this and more in less than 15 minutes...

In this final episode of our Orlando series for States of Discovery, we explore an entirely different side of Orlando—one that goes far beyond theme parks and into the heart of Central Florida's adventure, charm, and creativity. This itinerary-packed episode blends outdoor thrills, scenic waterways, small-town flavor, and immersive fun into one unforgettable journey.The day kicks off in Clermont at Revolution Adventures, a 230-acre off-road park where guests climb into amphibious Mucky Duck vehicles to tackle muddy trails, splash through water crossings, and experience Florida's wild side firsthand. It's high-energy, hands-on, and a surprisingly rugged way to start the day.From there, the pace shifts to the water with Catboat Escapes on the Clermont Chain of Lakes. Piloting your own catamaran-style boat, you glide through open lakes, winding cypress tunnels, and moss-draped wetlands. When a storm blew in, we experienced a different side of the lake, one that got us soaking wet.Lunch brings us to Twenty Pho Hour, a MICHELIN-recommended, 2D-style noodle bar that perfectly represents Orlando's creative food scene.The episode wraps up with a festive stay at Villatel Orlando Resort during Hallowee-kends, featuring haunted villas, spooky movie nights, themed cocktails, and family-friendly frights. This episode highlights the many layers of Orlando—adventurous, scenic, historic, and playful—proving the city's magic lives well beyond its most famous attractions.Huge shout out to Visit Orlando for having us!Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review States of Discovery on your favorite podcast platform.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Alan Shapiro to The Joy of Cruising Podcast, to talk about what it was like 20+ Years Working and Living on Over 15 Cruise Ships. Alan shared with me: “I worked on 7 different cruise lines and probably at least 15 ships. Some of my more exciting cruises included going to Antarctica, cruising down the Amazon River, going on a Nude Cruise to Alaska. I even was on a ship that hit an iceberg in Alaska. I worked on cruise ships as small as 500 passengers, and the largest 4000 passengers. I worked for Holland America Line for five years as an onboard Cruise Consultant, and three of those years, I also had my girlfriend/fiancée/wife on board. For a very short time I was with the Royal Olympic Voyager in 2003, which was starting a world cruise, and immediately after sailing from Fort Lauderdale, the line declared bankruptcy. This led to us being held in limbo in St. Thomas for more than a month. I was the Art Auctioneer, and had 300 paintings onboard, some pretty valuable, being held hostage. After about 4-5 weeks, we were moved to Ft. Lauderdale. And there is an intriguing story about what happened to me, the paintings, the passengers, and the crew, who were held in limbo for several months off Ft. Lauderdale Beach.  I started working on ships around 1989, when cruising was quite different than it was when I retired, and certainly much different than the way it is now. I did work on some contemporary, large ships, such as the Carnival Glory and Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas. But I preferred working and sailing on the smaller ships like the Costa Riviera, or The Marco Polo. I also spent six months sailing transatlantic on the old Queen Elizabeth 2—the QE2— before it was taken out of service. Quite a different sailing experience from the other cruise lines.” Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

This week's episode is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. Hannah and Barbi talk about Grandma Jann heading back to Washington (yes, they're sad - and yes, they absolutely adore her), which somehow leads to Barbi explaining why she's already writing Grandma Jann's eulogy… proactively. Don't worry - she's very much alive.From there, the conversation takes off (sometimes literally) with airport debacles, classic stories involving Uncle Monte, and a rapid-fire round of short Hideous and Horrific Hannah stories - real moments from history that sound too unbelievable to be true. As if that weren't enough, Barbi is also gearing up to leave Hannah for a cruise, which is clearly unacceptable.It's a fun, story-packed episode full of family love, laughter, and the kind of tangents that make you feel like you're right there with them.

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast, host Bela Musits sits down with Roy Greenwald, an experienced offshore sailor who has completed multiple ocean crossings and long-distance races. Roy shares insights from his years at sea aboard his Valiant 42, a boat known more for blue-water cruising than high-performance racing—yet one that's carried him to impressive victories.Roy talks about competing in legendary events like the Newport to Bermuda Race and the Marion to Bermuda Race, where he and his wife even took first place. Bela and Roy explore what it takes to prepare both mentally and technically for ocean passages, how double-handed sailing challenges crews in unique ways, and why safety, seamanship, and teamwork matter most offshore.Beyond racing, Roy discusses his work organizing the Northeast Ocean Race Symposium, a one-day event that brings together sailors to learn about everything from race strategy and weather routing to offshore safety and boat preparation. It's a can't-miss gathering for anyone serious about long-distance cruising or competitive sailing along the U.S. East Coast.Whether you're planning your first offshore passage or dreaming of Bermuda, this episode offers inspiration, real-world lessons, and a deep dive into the spirit of adventure that defines ocean racing.⛵ Keywords: sailing podcast, offshore racing, Roy Greenwald, Valiant 42, Newport to Bermuda Race, Marion to Bermuda Race, ocean crossings, Northeast Ocean Race Symposium, cruising, East Coast sailing.To learn more about the Northeast Ocean Racing Symposium:https://marionbermuda.com/NORS/Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and Mike

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Damion & Quanda EXP, Travel with Us to The Joy of Cruising Podcast. They shared with me: We're Damion and Quanda, a couple whose love story started fast and hasn't slowed down since. Damion moved from Jamaica in 2012, met Quanda, and just three months later, we were married. More than a decade later, we're raising our two adventurous boys (10 and 11), building careers we love, and exploring the world together, mostly by sea.Both of us are proud to work with Royal Caribbean Cruises. Damion, originally from Jamaica, is part of the Executive Escalations team, where he responds to communications sent to executive leadership from directors all the way up to the CEO. Quanda, who proudly carries both Jamaican and Turks Islander heritage, works on the Accessible Needs team, helping guests with physical, emotional, or mental challenges enjoy a cruise that's not just possible, but unforgettable, because everyone deserves an amazing vacation.Outside of work, you'll find us doing what we love most: cruising with our kids. We believe there's no better way to see the world than by ship, since you get to experience multiple destinations in one trip while creating unforgettable family memories. While Royal Caribbean is our home at sea and our first love, we've also enjoyed sailing with Celebrity, MSC, Carnival, and most recently Virgin Voyages.For us, cruising isn't just travel. It's a way to teach our boys about different cultures, show them the beauty of the world, and remind them that adventure is always just a boarding pass away.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Randy and Abe get in to Cruising on Christmas, and the Falcons Monday Night Football showdown with the Rams

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

Step aboard the Disney Treasure with Michelle, the pixie-dust optimist, and Joe, the delightfully grumpy realist, as they take you on a laugh-filled walkthrough of the ship itself. From the jaw-dropping Aladdin-themed Grand Hall (complete with a rub-able magic lamp and a $35,000 crystal Aladdin-and-Jasmine statue they absolutely are not bringing home) to Jungle Cruise–themed lounges, cat-filled jazz bars, and a ship that's basically a floating Disney art museum, they share what wowed them, what surprised them, and what they totally meant to see but never did. Along the way, they talk live music, trivia nights, Halloween theming, coffee and beer hacks, and why Scat Cat became their quiet little hideaway while Skipper Society felt more like a busy hallway with drinks.    They don't shy away from the misses, either—like the too-small Quiet Cove adult area, awkward guest services lines that looked like mystery queues to nowhere, confusing excursion cancellation rules, and shops clearly designed for the 1% (but not necessarily for people who still want to, you know, get their souvenirs home in one piece). Sprinkle in talk of spas, salons, whiskey tastings in the barbershop, shuffleboard on deck, missed chances to tour the kids' club, and even rumors of a stowaway cat who scored a free cruise and a new life in the Bahamas, and you've got an episode that's part review, part rant, and all real-talk Disney cruise vibes.

As 2025 comes to a close, we're taking an honest look back at Cruising in 2025: What We Got Right, What Surprised Us, What Missed the Mark at the year in cruising—what we got right, what genuinely surprised us, and what didn't quite live up to the hype. In this Unplugged episode, we talk through the trends we accurately predicted, the changes we didn't see coming, and the cruise lines that quietly over-delivered when no one was looking. We also dig into the ideas that sounded great on paper but fell short in real life, and how our own cruising habits, expectations, and mindset shifted over the past year.  We wrap things up by looking ahead to 2026—what we're excited about, what we're cautiously optimistic about, and what we're hoping cruise lines continue to get right. No hot takes for the sake of hot takes—just thoughtful reflection from a year at sea and where we see cruising heading next.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I am delighted to welcome back my cohost Cheryl. For the first time since we moved into our new house, we are doing a podcast together. Some of you know the past several weeks have been quite hectic for us. We have been slowly moving from North Carolina to Virginia during that time. Weekly we would drive a load of stuff to the home we bought in September. Right in the middle of this moving process, we cruised for 3-weeks straight on 2 cruise lines. Terribly inconvenient timing but badly needed. Of course, both of these cruises were planned long before we decided to move. The first leg of our side-to-side cruises was on Holland America Line Rotterdam, about which Cheryl and i shared our reflections on episode 218 November 27. The second leg of our side-to-side was on the new Princess Cruises Star Princess—5-days stopping at Amber Cove, Dominican Republic, and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

For the final episode of season three, Gabe and Chris explore just what makes locker rooms such exciting spaces to cruise, with the help of the very fit and very funny comedian Jay Jurden. Like many queer people, Jay recalls being attracted to other guys while changing in his high school locker room. But it wasn’t until he became an in-demand trainer at New York’s cruisiest gym that Jay got a front-row seat for sexual shenanigans hotter than anything on Pornhub. To celebrate his debut Hulu comedy special, “Yes, Maam”, Jay cracks our hosts up with stories about what he’s witnessed in locker rooms over the years, what bodily fluid he told Anderson Cooper he should drink to get swole, and his expert advice for cruising in the locker room.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael and Anne Hartshorn, special friends with whom my family and I have been cruising for nearly the past two years. They departed the UK in 2008, and since they have sailed across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean and the Panama Canal, up the west coast of the US to Canada and Alaska, up and down the Sea of Cortez, across the Pacific to French Polynesia, Fiji and on to New Zealand. I spoke with Michael and Anne while anchor alongside Nimue in Fakarava, an island in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B sits down with comedian Jay Jurden for a dynamic and humorous deep dive into today’s most pressing cultural and political conversations. The episode opens with Mandii welcoming listeners and sharing updates from her week [00:00 Introduction and Book Promotion], setting a lighthearted yet inquisitive tone. She then introduces Jay, kicking off a conversation that’s equal parts sharp-witted and socially aware [00:54 Local Politics and the New Face of Leadership], as they unpack how new political voices are reshaping local communities and bringing authenticity back to leadership. The discussion shifts as Jay reflects on his latest comedy special and how personal experience informs his work [02:05 Guest Introduction and Comedy Special Discussion], blending humor with honesty about identity, politics, and social responsibility. Mandii and Jay dive into the power of using comedy as both a coping mechanism and a form of activism [04:34 Comedy and Personal Experiences], offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how laughter can bridge uncomfortable conversations.
